bonnaroo This coming week I will be attending the Bonnaroo music festival. I have written about festival fashion before, but this post is about what I have learned over many years of music festivals to be the best fashion choices to look great and feel great while there. Bonnaroo is four days of camping, music, art and fun on a farm in Tennessee. It is hot, there isn't any shade, you are often walking many miles each day. It can be so dry that there is dust in the air, so humid that you feel as though you are walking in a sauna, or so rainy that you might as well be enjoying the show from a swimming pool. You need to prepare for the elements to be able to relax once at the music festival and enjoy the show. A proper wardrobe helps you have the best time possible.
My Bonnaroo must-haves:
Cotton sundresses. 100% cotton doesn't stick to you when it's humid, rainy, or you are sweaty. It dries fast and will catch even the slightest breeze, keeping you cool. Old Navy and H&M are great shops to find cheap yet trendy cotton sundresses. I like them with pockets to hold small items and, if above the knee, you don't have to worry about them dragging in mud (or the muck at the bottom of the porta-potty).
Bike shorts. Having a pair of moisture-wicking bike shorts under your sundress means that you won't be flashing the crowd when you sit on the ground to catch a show, and you will prevent the dreaded "chub rub" when walking in the heat. Under Armour makes great bike shorts for this--I've found that a 5" - 7" length is perfect to prevent chafing and also hides under shorter sundresses. Some women choose to wear these in place of underwear; I find that when worn with underwear it keeps me comfortable and stops sweat from running down my legs.
